the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

[inkskinned]

okay is she being actually immature or is it just a woman over 30 expressing a human experience you find to be immature.

like yeah. at certain ages... let shit go. im not defending the real immature shit. im not defending the karen you're picturing. i worked in retail i hate those people too. (once somebody got mad at me because she didn't like how our winter window decor was a snowman smoking a pipe. i wish i was joking).

but men at 57 will write books about how 17 year old girls are soooo sexy. they will invent worlds where women have to be naked for "armor reasons." they will write songs that treat women as objects. people rush to defend them. meanwhile a woman at 35 will be like "heartbreak is hard, actually" or "i feel betrayed by a friend" or "i am struggling with something emotionally." immediately people will say stuff like this woman is 35 by the way. by the way this woman is SO OLD to be experiencing this. BY THE WAY.

im 31, almost 32. the other day a poet was blasted online because at her "big age", she had written a poem about feeling unloved. top comment was "this woman is 29 by the way." this woman is too old to still be useful, by the way. she has to behave better . maybe if she was a good wife and mother she could stop existing loudly, and the story could continue on without her. this woman has served her purpose, by the way. she's so cringe, by the way. at 29 - so old! - she still hasn't figured out that her existence should be one of shame.

You don't wish your disability was worse or more visible, you wish your disability was taken seriously. Please stop confusing the two, I guarantee you would not get the support you need JUST by being more severe or more visible. Please listen to visibly disabled people when we tell you it isn't better on our side

Aesthetic

Fun facts:

Mute and uses glimmers of light to talk.

Doesn’t like to fight.

Has the body of a girl but got top surgery (a monster did it, and they did it for free, so no killing).

Weird and fun facts about children of Iris:

They each have a sigil, which can be used to contact them specifically no matter what. It is also their symbol, so messages to them, you write their sigil on the envelope and throw it into either a fire or a rainbow. It will come out on the other side.

When claimed, not only does the symbol of Iris appear above their head, so does their sigil.

Every weekend, they open up a hair salon from their cabin and change hair and eye colors to whatever you want.

When on a quest, their hair and eyes adapt and change to blend into the environment.

Children of Iris attract monsters a lot like Olympian children due to their mom being the messenger of the gods, but they can hide themselves very well so as not to be seen or found.

Hanahaki flower:

Stargazer Lily

Backstory:

Was abused by stepmom and ignored by dad. Their stepsiblings helped them and protected them from bullies. Then one day, Iris visited the stepsiblings and told them about who Isis really was a child of. She blessed the stepsiblings and made them her champions so they could also get across the border. Then they ran away, avoiding monsters and finally crossed over the border, being claimed as champions and a child of Iris

Cabin: 14

Favorite camper: their partner

Friends (help me add onto this list by commenting and saying what name you want):

@superbstarlightsheep: Jax, really nice to me and gives me fruit

@ravensonofhypnos: Ray, we like to sometimes just sit in silence. It’s calming being around them

@random-child-of-nyx: αστεριού, my partner! Love her, they are the most amazing person in the world

Family (help me add onto this list by commenting and saying what name you want):

@messenger-and-rainbows (my mom)

@yes-im-nyx (αστεριού’s mom)

@originalerebus (αστεριού’s step [?] dad)

Appearance:

Brown hair with blond bangs. Rainbow eyes, but prefers to keep them a light yellow. Scars on their arms and legs. Wears a very small crop top (this is what they’re comfortable with) and baggy pants.

How they were claimed: just stumbled over the hill, where they were met by the campers. Has been here for longer than their partner

Death: poisoned with chimera poison and a hole in their side from the bulls. Last words: I love you αστεριού.

About me (pjo):

Name: αστεριού (asterioú, which means starflower in Greek) Yume σκοτάδι (skotádi)

Favorite nicknames: Habibi, Yume, αστέρι (astéri)

Type: demiprimordial (a demigod child of a primordial that is stronger than the rest of the primordial’s other demigod children and legacies) (demititans are stronger than most of the other children and legacies, especially if their a child of a titan, and demigod+legacies are your usual)

Child of Nyx

Blessed by Hestia and Nyx

Pronouns and gender orientation: she/they or they/them, xenofluid/artemian

Sexual orientation: diamoric/aroace (they do experience romantic/sexual attraction, just only for one person only)

Partner: Isis Te Ario

Height: 6’8 ft aka 182.88 cm

Age: around 16-18 years old

Skin type: vitiligo

Ethnicity: Liberian, Ivorian (Ivory Coast), Hawaiian, Polynesian, and Greek

Powers: Umbrakinesis (power to control shadows), Umbraportation (power to teleport between shadows, basically shadow traveling but can go farther without getting as tired), Darkness solidification (that one explains itself), Pyrokinesis (the ability to control fire), Pyroportation (the ability to teleport through fire), and Fire breathing (that one explains itself). Because they are a demiprimordial, they were blessed with the ability to create and control/manipulate stars, which also allows them to know a lot of stars and be able read the stars easily. This is called χειραγώγηση δημιουργίας αστεριών (cheiragógisi dimiourgías asterión, meaning star creation manipulation in Greek) but is shortened down to αστέρι δημιουργία (astéri dimiourgía, meaning star create).

Fighting style: anything, can make it out of shadows and darkness. If that fails (they can’t get it to solidify), their hairstick can turn into any weapon they want.

Songs that represents them: Fire on Fire by Sam Smith, Boys Feel Sad Too by Rosendale, Stitches by Shawn Mendes, Born to Die by Lana Del Ray

Favorite songs: My R by Lollia, 2 Days Into College (nightcore) by Neko, Sailor Song by Gigi Perez

Fatal flaw: the issue to trust anyone except their half-siblings. This is because during a war, gods and goddesses talk to them to try to convince them to come to their side due to the power they have. αστεριού only trusts underworld deities and Hestia+Hephaestus+Dionysus

Aesthetic:

Fun facts:

Zeus is scared of Nyx and her children, so he’s scared of them.

They have dyed hair and wear a crown made by Morpheus.

Nyx, her husband, and their children are protective of αστεριού because they’re the first mortal child (Nyx/Erebus)/sibling (the children). This also applies to any of the demigod children of them, like Morpheus, Aether, Hypnos, Thanatos, etc.

They often smuggle in alcohol for Mr. D and his kids, because it is literal torture to keep a god from their domain.

They are close with anyone from the Hecate cabin.

The way they were conceived was the Fates took a bit of their mom’s DNA and put it into a child.

Can intimidate monsters into either leaving them alone or helping them, making them valuable to go on quests, though they only go on ones with a Dionysus camper

They have selective mutism

They have some tattoos (shown in the aesthetic)

Weird facts about children of Nyx:

Their eyes glow in the dark.

They are connected to the stars so when a child, legacy, or champion of Nyx dies, they become a new star only known by the children of Nyx (mortal and godly).

Each child of Nyx is born under a star, and αστεριού was born under Polaris, signifying their power.

Chdlren of Nyx drink the blood of monsters.

Children of Myx are affected by light and especially light pollution.

Children of Nyx have the ability to change their gender and reproductive organs, though it takes some time to adjust to the feeling of their organs shifting.

Hanahaki flower/s (if you were to get hanahaki for them, this would be the flower you cough up)

Starflower

Coral honeysuckle

Backstory/lore bits: the Fates took a bit of Nyx’s DNA and added it to αστεριού. Once they were born, they were put out on the streets because their parents were disgusted by them. A homeless Japanese woman found αστεριού and took them in, naming them Yume, which means dream in Japanese. αστεριού called the woman Auntie, and she single-handedly raised them. Eventually she got a job and sent αστεριού to school. She had already been teaching them English and Japanese, and when she noticed that they had a proficiency in reading Greek, she bought a Greek dictionary that included the alphabet. Well, one day, Auntie was visited by the Fates, who explained their parentage and powers (they hadn’t gotten the fire ones yet). Shortly after, she died. When αστεριού found out, she was given her will, which gave them everything. It also included a letter to them telling them where to go. So they packed up and umbraported to CHB. There they were claimed and Dionysus took them into his cabin since there was no Nyx cabin.

Cabin: Zeus, being his usual dick self, didn’t give them a cabin, so Mr. D took them in temporarily. NOW THEY HAVE A CABIN! It’s sits on the edge of the woods, far from the rest, so they didn’t see it at first

@superbstarlightsheep (Jaxson, really fun to hang out with in the fields growing stuff)

@ravensonofdionysus (Ray’s nice, he helped me get used to the camp and hierarchy. Kept me from punching Zeus after I found it out)

Appearance: black hair with dyed light blue tips, vitiligo, always has a little shadow monster they call the 9th goddess following them. They wear a crop top, shorts, leg warmers, and a crown made and gifted by Hecate. If they tie up their hair, they use a hair stick made by Erebus as a sign of acceptance into the family (each one of their children has one).

How they were claimed: told a hellhound to sit and it obeyed. Now that hellhound, σκοτάδι (skotádi) helps protect the camp along with Mrs. O’Leary

Death (how they would go out, includes last words): Bleeding heavily from gashes and other wounds from monsters. Last words: I’m sorry guys. Just please remember to take care of σκοτάδι and that I’m proud of you.

What peacock colors exist that most nonpeacock don’t know about

i love the assumption the average person knows about ANY peafowl mutations, but after the number of times I've had to explain that the girls and boys look different, I fear the answer is that they're unaware of all of them.

worst way to start my new year, thanks. i have a lot of things to say about these companies but i'm tired and just keeping it focused to the pin side of things for this one. do not ever buy pins from these companies, literally ALL of them are stolen from small artists like me. if you want to buy enamel pins, check out etsy, and artist's personal websites and shops! (though even Etsy has some bootleg pins that ship straight from china, so tread carefully…)

Every pin I've designed is, thus far, EXCLUSIVE to my etsy. if you find it anywhere else, it's been ripped off! and once these stupid bootlegs pop up, it's basically a never ending game of whack-a-mole trying to get them all taken down...

I NEEEEEEED Kurt shippers. or just Kurt insane people to know that the german word for tail is also german slang for penis

"You like my tail dont you" said in german ("Du magst meinen schwanz, oder?") will be read as "you like my dick dont you" by a german

this isnt to discourage people from using the word Schwanz, the oposite, i want people to write Kurt saying that because he WOULD

Consider this: ghosts are actually exactly what the Fentons think they are.

They're snapshots of a longing so strong, unfinished business so deep it reaches out beyond life. Lingers just a bit longer. And if it happens to meet a dense cloud of ectoplasm (invisible to the naked eye, but omnipresent even in the mortal realm), it coalesces. The ectoplasm fits into the shape of it. Which, when the desire is strong enough, it's got a rough idea of its self-image. This tends to mean a more humanoid figure, though it's more often warped in some way–a self-reflection, skewed by said desire. The warping varies on the dead soul’s perception of themselves, the intensity of their desire, how much time passed after death, and how much ectoplasm was present.

In short… no matter how “normal" a ghost looks or acts, it really, truly isn't human. It's animated ectoplasm with a single goal: an obsession. Nothing else. They're more akin to plants than animals, following a single drive with no emotion. They react to stimuli, recognize threats (including other ghosts), and can even imitate human speech and mannerisms to obtain fulfillment of their obsession.

Not “evil" by any stretch, but they're entirely driven by instinct. A tree doesn't pause to consider the rocks it breaks with its roots. A cordyceps doesn't torture its host for fun, or kill with malice. It just does. It follows code in its DNA to survive and multiply–And ghosts just follow the code in its ectoplasm to fulfill its obsession. The more powerful a ghost, the better it's able to overcome obstacles preventing this–whether through brute force, or manipulation. This power is always directly proportional to the amount of ectoplasm present at the time of formation, and how much time passed since death.

What then, does this mean for Danny? Danny, who's previously come to the conclusion that he's only half-ghost, which surely explains how he retained his mind? His independent thoughts and emotions?

What does this mean for Phantom, who experienced an entire world’s worth of ectoplasm condensed as a singularity, at the exact time of his death? Whose strength only grows and begins to exceed every limit they previously thought possible?

If a ghost was as strong as him… could it mimic a human perfectly? Down to a molecular level?

Could it, in its desire to fill an obsession… trick its own fake mind into thinking it was still human? Or half-ghost?

eleven is fascinating to me because he came right off the back of tens horrible traumatic breakdown after he lost everything and he immediately tried to establish himself as the opposite of that. he is funny and goofy and almost childlike, and he bulldozes on in his adventures with amy like nothing happened at all. but then something happens and his masks slips and it's like oh! the core of this man is still anger. he is so so angry all of the time and this façade is the only thing stopping him from being consumed by it. he isn't over any of it and he hasn't moved on. he is wearing a fez and laughing but under that all that exists is age old anger and grief and it is going to consume him

maffhew who refuses to say runebergin torttu because he knows hes gonna butcher it so bad he might be kicked out of the country the second he tries and staunchly avoids that by going "the one dessert that barky is going to have to explain 😃"

"he did good he liked the food and he likes the finland so far so its good" sasha says with so much pride now that all the anxiety has left his system that his husband teammate is enjoying his country and doesnt hate it
